Land in Allodium, and owe no service for it, they should be no longer Subjects, but quasi Princes. But now they are Subjects and Beneficiaries, and their service is freedom, and honourable; only let Kings look to their Power, that they be no Tyrants, as God is not, but Fathers, as God is; and let Subjects look to their service, that they be no Rebels, as the Saints are not, but Children as the Saints are.
This is the constitution of Christs Church and Kingdom:
1. They are all Souldiers, so they must not be idle nor fearful, but all must watch and be ready upon all occasions to fight against the World, the Flesh and the Devil.
2. They must all love their Lord, Captain and King, and be at his call.
3. They must all love one another, and help one another as they fight together, and are partakers of the same grace together, and aim at the same glory.
